These are rewarding activities the Knights of Columbus undertake regularly. Fellowship with brother Knights, while giving of ourselves to meet others’ needs, is time well spent and greatly appreciated. More satisfaction comes from serving than being served. Knights experience that.

Since 1882, the Knights of Columbus have been protecting families from financial ruin caused by breadwinner’s passing. At first, Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney and his fellow Knights ‘passed the hat’ to benefit widows and orphans. Now, the Order has grown to include top-rated life
insurance, long-term care insurance and retirement products. With more than $100 billion of insurance in force and a full-time force of 1,500 agents serving our members and families, we are proudly fulfilling Fr. McGivney’s vision.

Today, there are 1.9 million Knights worldwide – 55,000 here in Florida. In the last five years the Knights of Columbus gave $800,000,000+ to charity. In 2019, Knights gave 73,000,000 hours for charitable work.

Ask yourself one question before joining: Would the Knights be what it is if members weren’t gratified? Would you know about parishioners’ pressing needs, or opportunities to help
if you are not a Knight? Big challenges need lots of hearts and hands. Why not follow your heart and put your hands to work with ours? If you’re a practical Catholic, why not contact us this week? We’re all volunteers; each gives what he can.
